Add to that he's a risk. Not for me. Thats an easy post. Who then? Or do you stick with Pedro? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have any chance at all we need to win games like last night. I can see it being another grand canyonesque gap unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that, I wanted him gone before this season started. I mentioned it pre-season and I stand by it - Guss Hiddink. He was on TV earlier this year and was asked about getting back into management - he said he would, but that it wouldn't be about wages or a club with unlimited funding etc - he wanted a challenge. Fuck me, where better than us. For one, he has a proven track record unlike the usual names that get bandied about. Other than a dodgy spell in Spain during the nineties, his pedigree at both club and international level is second to none. Plus a wee bit of previous tax evasion would endear him to King Failing him, what's Van Gaal doing nowadays? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRUTH82 813 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 We really should be 5 points better off, dropping them to the edinburgh pair at home was pathetic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor calibre of inherited players No apparent youth ready to step up Language barriers. A newish manager A squad value and payscale less than the bheasts. Then onto the bheasts: Consistent Full of internationals Well managed Beneficiary of refs decisions They may not be world beaters but they consistently win in Scotland. When playing poorly too. Anyone expecting to win the league in these circumstances is naive. That's not accepting it, it's realism. We either build gradually or we buy success. And there's no money. If we are building quickly and well enough is a very valid argument. But building is what we should be doing as next season is the first realistic genuine challenge, not this one. Never was this one.

Get the second goal and dominate as the bheasts do and teams think about damage limitation. Fail to, as we do, and it gives teams hope, which at the moment is turning into goals and points against us. A second goal and being on the front foot really would make the world of difference to us.

ritchieshearercaldow 22,137 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Watched the scum game and the only thing they do better is pass the ball, they very rarely make stray passes, they always seem to have players in space, the Dumbelly goal, there was no one near him, he had time to take the ball look up and shoot (another thing they're decent at) Everything we do seems rushed and sloppy at times, we need to get in their faces next week, don't give them time to place a pass.

KingKirk 25,633 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 personally I don't think we were every challenging for the title it is all about finishing comfortably 2nd close the gap considerably and win the cups. Something is different between this and last season they ain't running over teams like last season. Will we win next weekend will be a tough ask but its more about getting a full 90mins performance for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may pack it in now then. I think you misunderstood, we're too good for it, we'll finish either 1st or 2nd. Right now too early to tell whether Rangers can get a run going to challenge celtic so likely 2nd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
